Plot
South Tyrol, 1961: Paul was hoping to escape the confines of his village and study painting. But because his older brother Anton is a wanted terrorist, he’s forced to stay at the farm and help Anton’s wife, Anna, and their son. As Paul is drawn into a vortex of violence and toxic masculinity, Anna struggles with the radicalization of her husband and the patriarchal structures in place at the time.
